Guest Reviews

• Beth (10/5): - Bad Axe Motel may not be a new modern establishment, but it's updated, very clean, comfortable beds, equipped kitchenette, in the country on a main road, & convenient location. With parking right in front of room door. I would absolutely stay again, and recommend it.
• John (10/5): - A very nice, clean and quiet place. A little out in the country, nice!
• Dawne (10/5): - Very quaint and great for the price!
• Mary (10/5): - Clean rooms. The water smell when showering was off putting. All in all I would stay again.
• Theresa (10/5): Great place!! - Very clean room and comfortable bed. We were able to check in early. Will stay again.
• Guy (10/5): - All was good
• Jennifer (8/5): - The room was very clean, a little outdated but overall nice stay. The room did not have a coffee maker but I had brought my own.
• Eileen (8/5): - The facilities were nicely done. The room could have used a chair.
• Corey (10/5): - Very clean room and easy check in and out
• James E (2/5): - I could not check in because the office was locked and full of furniture and junk. Nobody would answer the phone. If I'm charged for this booking there will be hell to pay. Dirty and unsafe.
• Clyde (8/5): - We appreciated the help Mike gave us during check in and our stay. He was very responsive to our needs. Thank you Mike! The room was good!
• Matthew (6/5): - Very plain but gets the job done. Room has a somewhat musty smell but seemed clean otherwise.
• Phillip (8/5): - The room was Sparkling clean. Beds were comfortable and made up excellently! Refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee pot (coffee, cream, sugar provided) were all in good working order and very clean. The kitchenware, plates, cups, silverware were also very clean. There is No Maid Service at this motel. Not a problem. Manager provided his number and any fresh towels, linens, soap, shampoo, dish washing liquid, coffee required were delivered on the spot. Kind of unique, but the system was run smoothly. Would stay there again. Very peaceful and quiet. No problems at all.
• Fred (8/5): - Nice,clean Room
• Janet (10/5): - We had a very pleasant stay. It was a very clean and comfortable place to stay.
• Leah (8/5): - For a motel my partner and I had a pretty great experience! We were impressed by the nice and clean beds, kitchenette, and bathroom. We wish the water didn't smell like city water though, and the floors were swept but it seemed like they weren't mopped very well.
• Joshua (6/5): - It’s an older model motel. But has been updated to a degree, the rooms are tiny, not close to anything in walking distance , there’s no one at the desk you have to call the number and the manager lives a few minutes away, he’s polite but the whole experience made working out there much less exciting.. I recommend this place if your only staying one night and your desperate. I hate leaving a bad review and I understand that it’s an old school establishment but when I’d ponder sleeping in my car. That’s not good
• Bradley (2/5): - We were there at 8 o’clock. There was no one there to check us in and to this point my people have not been checked in. I want my money back. There is no hotel that should be closed at 8 o’clock.
• Kathy (8/5): - Out of the way place right off main road
• Debra (10/5): - This was a very nice local motel. Very clean and just a couple of minutes from town. Mike the proprietor was very accommodating nice and quiet. Loved the kitchenette. Would highly recommend.
• GEORGE (8/5): - The motel was in a reasonable location relative to the town of Bad Axe. The room was clean, comfortable and remarkably well appointed for its size. It had a fridge and microwave and even a small hotplate for cooking, along with various utensils. My only real concern about the accommodation has to do with security. The door lock to the room did not seem especially substantial, and there was no security lock. I'd suggest that security locks be installed on all the doors.
• Vivian (10/5): great stay - Very clean and updated rooms. I will recommend the Bad Axe Motel to all my family and friends.
• Robert (10/5): - No problems, good little motel
• Shiu (8/5): - Unassuming property with quaint rooms and many amenities, including microwave, kitchen-style sink in room, fridge, DishTV, and even a hot plate and toaster! A pleasant surprise for the accommodation! Manager was very friendly and attentive, even walking guests to their rooms to ensure everything is proper when checking-in. Motel location is just outside of town, with access to various restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment.
• Yvette (10/5): - This motel is exceptionally clean. Great location if you like the quiet country side not too far out of town. I highly recommend it to everyone.
• Maryann (10/5): - The location is central if you are doing activities in various locations in the northern thumb. The rooms have recently been redone and are very nice and clean with fresh paint, new vanities, and new flooring. The beds were very comfortable. It would be nice if small bar of soap was provided and kleenex (small things, but can make a big difference when you don't pack your own :)). It was very reasonably priced and I was glad there was NOT a two night minimum stay required.
• Brett (10/5): Clean, quiet, and comfortable - This old style motel was a great place to stay. It was clean and comfortable. Easy to check in and friendly owner!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet and cozy - We really enjoyed our stay .. quiet and cozy !!
• David (10/5): - Clean, quiet, friendly staff and outstanding amenities,I highly recommend this establishment for the valuable stay it offers.I will return!!
• Jeffrey (4/5): - Never saw any staff member
• Amy (8/5): Nice and tidy - The place was small but perfect for what we needed. Everything was clean and comfy. My husband, who grew up in the country, noticed some farm smells, but I wasn't bothered by them (I mean, you are in the middle of a bunch of farm fields). They were redoing their parking lot, so we parked on the grass, which was fine.
• Jason (10/5): - Great place to stay for your next motorcycle adventure
• James (8/5): Very good. - A great place. Clean with a kitchenette and lots of electrical outlets. The only thing I would have liked is a desk or table where I could work on my laptop.
• Lawrence (10/5): - It was a convenient stop
• jerry (6/5): - There IS NOT 24 hour on site staff. Satellite did not work, so we had 2 days of no TV.
• peggy (10/5): - Even though it is an older motel, the room and bathroom were immaculate, and up-to-date. The only thing we missed was that we couldn't find any coffee for the coffeemaker. We had to go to the grocery store for coffee.
• Helene (10/5): - Room well appointed but very small.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Mike was super friendly. Easy check in and check out. Motel is very dated but kept in good shape. Pillows are very thin and no hair dryer. Good value.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It was suited more toward hunters but the manager gave us the nicest most modern room because we were a couple. The choices are limited in the area when there is a festival. I would recommend it for someone who is less of a Princess. I need make up lighting.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and staff were very accommodating. Would stay there again. Extra bonus that the motel was pet friendly.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - We had to call the manager and wait until he got there to check in. It was outdated had a small toilet as well as shower !! The internet wasn't working at all !!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - An excellent little motel that looks like they take very good care of. There’s not a whole lot right there but they are just out of Bad Axe city. We enjoyed the nice beds, cable, little kitchenette and clean bathrooms. There is even a little play structure out back for your little kids
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Mike was very accommodating and awesome to work with. Our room looked to be completely remolded, was perfect with a kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave and a cabinet with silverware, cups and anything else we would need for our stay. The room was very clean, I would stay here again without hesitation.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - For a "side of the road" motel, its was pleasantly well kept. The facility it self is a few miles out of town, so its a country setting with peace & quiet.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This was a clean, simple, affordable option and allowed for easy check-in, check-out process. The manager was pleasant and responsive and seemed always available if there were any issues. I would definitely stay here again if I find myself in the area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice, comfortable room.
• doug (10/5): - It was a hidden gem in the thumb. I enjoyed my stay.
• Ralph (8/5): - Old type motel, it has been updated, comfortable for the price--Direct TV very nice!
• Verified traveler (8/5): A night in the Thumb (of Michigan) - Older style motel, adequate for a one night stop over.
• Lisa (10/5): - I had a great time. Everything nice and clean Very cozy
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The owner was super helpful and guided me to the motel after I got poor directions. Complaints? The washcloth was scratchy , the bathroom light flickered after turnoff, and the shower was small.
• Jason (10/5): - For an older Motel, you couldnt ask.for more, it was comfortable, convenient, and extremely clean. Definitely will recommend to others.
• Vicki (10/5): Great Stay - Motel was cute and clean. No frills. Loved the kitchenette. Could use a chair for sitting. Not fully occurred. Very quiet. Close to downtown.
• Lisa (10/5): - It was a great experience. We will stay here again next year. Thanks for the hospitality
• LeRoy (4/5): - The beds were comfortable, the TV worked fine, did not have far from car to door; but there was no curtain in bathroom window, no handrail by the water closet nor the required three feet between wall and the vanity, which caused a slight problem, and while showering when I grabbed the grab bars I thought they might fall off the wall.
• Joseph V (4/5): - The room had a bad smell. Not terrible, but still... Check in was a little weird, as there was no light on in the "office", just a sign saying to call:xxx-xxx-xxxx
• Constance (8/5): - The manager was helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and the bed was very cozy. Cute and comfy country feel. Good place to stay after a long day hiking and lounging on the beach.
• Katie (8/5): Great overnight stay - This was our 2nd stay here. It was very comfy (the bed is so soft). The customer service was excellent.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Price and location are good. We enjoyed our stay. The room is comfortable and had fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. We liked to coffee
• Rebecca (10/5): - It was very wonderful. We will stay again when we come back. Thank you.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Everything was fine until I checked out the sheets on the bed. One bed was fine, the other bed was dirty and not even made. I had to sleep on top of the sheets. I didn't bother the owner because I was too tired.
